Why failing to install AST Suspension restricts your sports car's potential
Owning a powerful engine is useless if your chassis cannot transmit that force to the ground. By keeping your factory suspension, you suffer from excessive body roll, nose-dive under braking, and a lack of precision during rapid weight transfers. Not equipping your BMW M, Volkswagen Golf GTI, or Audi RS with an AST Suspension kit means accepting a vehicle that "floats" at high speeds and loses traction as the pace quickens.
The lack of superior damping quality not only degrades your lap times but also undermines your confidence behind the wheel. Opting for AST solutions is not just a customization choice; it is a vital technical optimization for anyone who wants to feel every millimeter of the road.

Frequently Asked Questions about AST Suspension
What is the difference between AST and factory suspension?
Unlike mass-produced dampers, AST Suspension uses inverted monotube technology, which offers much better lateral rigidity and a faster response to road irregularities.
Are AST coilovers too stiff for road use?
AST's strength lies in the quality of its internal valving. Even with a firm track setting, the damper maintains an absorption capacity that preserves a surprising level of comfort on open roads.
